CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY
A check valve assembly for a supply pipe. The check valve assembly includes a hinge pin, a first flapper, and a second flapper. The first flapper is pivotally coupled to the second flapper with the hinge pin. The check valve assembly also includes a stopper located between the first flapper and the second flapper. The stopper is configured to limit movement of the first flapper and the second flapper. The check valve assembly further includes a plate assembly located downstream of the stopper. The plate assembly is configured to break vortices formed in a fluid flow across the first flapper and the second flapper.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY COMPONENT AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY COMPONENT
A high-voltage battery component includes a connection device for connecting a coolant line for a coolant to a heat sink of a high-voltage battery. The connection device has a connection part, which is connectable to the heat sink, and a sealing element arranged at the end of the connection part for providing a seal between the connection part and the heat sink. The connection device includes a spreading part, which is movable relative to the connection part. The spreading part, by pushing into the connection part, can be transferred from an insertion position for inserting the connection part into the heat sink into a sealing position. In the sealing position, the spreading part spreads the sealing element radially outward such that the sealing element can be placed in a sealing manner against the heat sink when the connection part is plugged into the heat sink.
DAMPING DEVICE
A damping device, in particular for damping or preventing pressure impacts, like pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits, comprising a damping housing (1) which surrounds a damping chamber and has at least one fluid inlet (13) and a fluid outlet (15) and a damping tube (21; 51) located in the flow path between the damping inlet and outlet, said damping tube having at least one branch opening (29; 73, 75, 77, 79, 81) passing through the tube wall and leading to a Helmholtz volume (27; 53, 55, 57, 59, 61) inside of the damping housing (1) for forming a Helmholtz resonator in a region positioned inside of the length of the damping tube, characterized in that a fluid filter (35) is arranged inside of the damping housing (1) in the flow path running between the fluid inlet (13) and fluid outlet (15).
Flow conditioning assembly
A flow conditioning assembly comprising an integral elbow flow conditioner and a downstream flow conditioner. The elbow flow conditioner includes a pipe elbow with one or more flow conditioning elements. Each flow conditioning element includes one or more turning guides. Each turning guide is generally circular and radially spaced from one another and an inner surface of the elbow. Spaced vanes maintain the radial spacing of the turning guides. The vanes divide the radial space between the turning guides and pipe elbow into a plurality of flow channels that turn in generally the same direction as the inner surface of the pipe elbow. The downstream flow conditioner comprises a flow conditioning structure within a pipe element. The flow conditioning structure includes one or more flow guides of generally circular form radially spaced from one another and the pipe element. Spaced support vanes maintain the radial spacing of the flow guides.
Laminar flow restrictor
Apparatuses for controlling gas flow are important components for delivering process gases for semiconductor fabrication. These apparatuses for controlling gas flow frequently rely on flow restrictors which can provide a known flow impedance of the process gas. In one embodiment, a flow restrictor is disclosed, the flow restrictor constructed of a plurality of layers, one or more of the layers having a flow passage therein that extends from a first aperture at a first end of the flow restrictor to a second aperture at a second end of the flow restrictor.
Device and method for swinging power generation and vibration suppression by using arc-shaped wing plates with rough surfaces
The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for swinging power generation and vibration suppression by using arc-shaped wing plates with rough surfaces. The device consists of two parts, namely, a rotary swinging system and a collector system. The rotary swinging system includes a collector riser, steering bearings, nanometer material arc-shaped power generation wing plates, and flexible tail plates. The collector system includes telescopic power generation cylinders, a waterproof electric slip ring, and a waterproof power transmission line. The suppression of energy-consumption-free vortex-induced vibration is realized under the combined action that the nanometer material arc-shaped power generation wing plates divide a flowing space and adjust a flow direction, the nanometer material arc-shaped power generation wing plates drive the flexible tail plates to swing to destroy a tail vortex street, and hemispherical bulges and trumpet-shaped deflector holes disturb a boundary layer around flow.

Fluid Medium Enhancement Apparatus
A fluid medium flow apparatus for use in a conduit defining a primary channel through which a fluid medium flows includes a vent portion that includes a continuous outer wall situated in the conduit and having a tubular configuration defining an interior area, the vent portion defining an inlet and an outlet downstream of the inlet and includes a radius bend between the inlet and the outlet. A vane is mounted in the interior area intermediate opposed inner surfaces of the continuous side wall and having a length extending between a start of the radius bend and an end of the radius bend and includes a width equal to an inner diameter of the continuous outer wall. The vane dissects the primary channel of the conduit into an inner channel and an outer channel such that the fluid medium is bifurcated into an inner fluid portion and an outer fluid portion.
